Chapter 390 The Spirit of the Warrior
Honda Yuji’s face turned ashen.
For a sword grandmaster, what Fang Yu did was the ultimate humiliation and provocation.
Damn it! Damn it!
He must kill Fang Yu and make him regret everything he had done!
Honda Yuji’s anger erupted within him, his rage overwhelming.
He gripped his blade again and charged toward Fang Yu.
“Water Flow!”
Honda Yuji rushed to about two meters from Fang Yu and swung his blade forward.
Frenzied and dense sharp sword energy blasted toward Fang Yu.
The reason Honda Yuji’s style was called the Water Style was because the density created by the speed of his swordsmanship was like placing someone in seawater, leaving nowhere to hide!
Facing the countless sword energy waves, Fang Yu held up the scabbard to block them.
Every wave of sword energy was blocked by Fang Yu.
Then, Fang Yu stepped forward twice, initiating an attack for the first time!
He gripped the scabbard and thrust it straight at Honda Yuji.
Honda Yuji pointed his blade downward, attempting to strike the scabbard to block it.
But at that moment, Fang Yu flicked his wrist, and the scabbard suddenly dropped downward!
This caused Honda Yuji’s strike to completely miss.
And the scabbard struck Honda Yuji’s knee!
“Crack!”
A chilling, crisp sound.
Honda Yuji groaned in pain and retreated several steps.
His face turned grim as he touched his knee, knowing that his kneecap had been shattered.
This was definitely bad news.
For a swordsman, besides close-combat sword techniques, footwork was also crucial.
With his right kneecap shattered, Honda Yuji would lose his mobility and couldn’t execute any footwork!
At this moment, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
The group of Eastern Region Commerce Association members who had been waiting to enjoy the show had pale faces, somewhat sobered from their alcohol.
They never expected that Honda Yuji, the renowned sword grandmaster in the Eastern Region, would end up in such a situation when facing a young man after arriving in the Nine Provinces!
In the previous rounds, Honda Yuji had been attacking while Fang Yu had been dodging, giving everyone the illusion that Honda Yuji had the upper hand.
But now, as soon as Fang Yu made his move, that illusion was corrected!
Just one exchange!
In just one exchange, the sword grandmaster Honda Yuji’s knee suffered irreversible damage!
What did this mean?
It meant that this young man hadn’t been using his full strength all along!
He had been toying with Honda Yuji!
“My God… how is this possible?” Several Eastern Region Commerce Association members lost all their previous confidence and became extremely flustered.
They didn’t know what to do now!
Fang Yu looked at Honda Yuji with furrowed brows and said, “What did you call yourself earlier? A sword grandmaster?”
Honda Yuji’s face was pale, unable to speak.
“With your meager skills, you might not even qualify as an apprentice, let alone a grandmaster. Too exaggerated.” Fang Yu shook his head, saying with disappointment, “Having the Yuan Dao Sword in your hands is a complete waste.”
His words might sound arrogant to others.
But this was Fang Yu’s honest opinion.
In Fang Yu’s view, Honda Yuji’s swordsmanship wasn’t even as good as Kimura Makoto whom he had met earlier on Nine Phoenix Island.
But from Honda Yuji’s words, he seemed to be stronger than Kimura Makoto, which was probably due to the enhancement from the Yuan Dao Sword.
Without the Yuan Dao Sword, in a pure swordsmanship contest, Honda Yuji would likely be no match for Kimura Makoto.
This was Fang Yu’s direct impression.
However, in Fang Yu’s eyes, whether it was Kimura Makoto or Honda Yuji, these two men’s swordsmanship levels were at most at an apprentice level, not enough to interest him.
Back in the Heavenly Dao Sect, Fang Yu had always been inferior to his senior brother Lin Daochen in sword contests.
And Lin Daochen had a vast gap compared to their master Dao Tian.
The existence of these two made Fang Yu feel for a long time that his swordsmanship was extremely poor and not presentable.
It wasn’t until later, when Fang Yu left the Heavenly Dao Sect and competed with other swordsmen, that he realized he was actually quite strong.
So strong that no opponent could last three rounds against him when he was serious.
And now, meeting Kimura Makoto and Honda Yuji, they couldn’t even make Fang Yu take them slightly seriously.
“Sigh.”
Fang Yu sighed, deciding not to waste any more time.
He gripped the scabbard and slowly walked toward Honda Yuji.
After his kneecap was shattered, Honda Yuji had lost his ability to dodge.
Facing the approaching Fang Yu, Honda Yuji’s internal alarm bells rang loudly, and he even became somewhat panicked.
He gripped the Yuan Dao Sword tightly and frantically swung it at Fang Yu!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Waves of sword energy shot out, all dodged by Fang Yu, hitting the wall behind and causing it to explode!
One of the sword energy waves directly struck a member of the Eastern Region Commerce Association.
“Slash!”
This bald middle-aged man was instantly hit, immediately gushing blood!
“Ah…”
Seeing this horrifying scene, the crowd that had been watching screamed continuously and rushed toward the stairway, wanting to leave this place.
During this process, Fang Yu had already walked up to Honda Yuji.
“Die!”
Honda Yuji roared, raising the Yuan Dao Sword and chopping down at Fang Yu’s head!
Fang Yu no longer dodged but extended his right hand.
“Clang!”
The blade of the Yuan Dao Sword was firmly gripped in Fang Yu’s hand!
Fang Yu’s right hand emitted a faint golden light.
Other than that, he was completely unharmed!
“This, this…”
Honda Yuji was completely stunned, his lips trembling.
This Yuan Dao Sword was a divine weapon gifted by his master, truly capable of cutting through iron like mud.
No living being in the world should be able to withstand the sharpness of this blade.
But Fang Yu had caught it with just one hand!?
Fang Yu’s previously displayed ghostly footwork was already astonishing, but at least he had been dodging attacks.
But this time, he directly blocked Honda Yuji’s strike with his hand.
This made Honda Yuji completely despair.
The Fang Yu before him wasn’t human at all!
Honda Yuji stared at Fang Yu with wide eyes, his face deathly pale.
“Without sufficient ability, don’t casually seek revenge for others.” Fang Yu’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
“Thud!”
Honda Yuji immediately fell to his knees, kowtowing heavily to Fang Yu.
He sensed the aura of death!
He didn’t want to die!
As a sword grandmaster, he held an extremely high status in the Eastern Region, with over a thousand disciples.
After joining the Eastern Region Commerce Association, he had gained countless wealth and women.
His life was approaching perfection, he didn’t want to die, he couldn’t die!
“Please spare my life…” Honda Yuji began crying out, shouting in Japanese.
Seeing this scene, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
Before the fight began, who could have imagined such an outcome?
A dignified sword grandmaster, kneeling and crying for mercy, losing all dignity!
Especially those few members of the Eastern Region Commerce Association, now all pale-faced and trembling.
“This doesn’t align with the samurai spirit, does it?” Fang Yu looked at Honda Yuji kneeling on the ground and smiled.
Honda Yuji continued kowtowing, crying and begging for mercy.
“You wanted to kill me, how could I possibly let you go?” Fang Yu said, gripping the scabbard tightly.
“Sir, please show mercy!”
At this moment, a voice appeared.
Fang Yu turned to see a middle-aged man.
This person was the manager of this restaurant.
“Mr. Honda is a senior responsible person from the Eastern Region Commerce Association headquarters. If you kill him, there will be endless troubles. Please reconsider, sir.” The manager bowed deeply to Fang Yu, cold sweat dripping down his back.
If it weren’t for his restaurant’s direct relationship with the Eastern Region Commerce Association, he wouldn’t have taken such a risk to speak up!
Fang Yu looked at the manager with a mocking expression and said, “When he was trying to kill me earlier, why didn’t you step forward and ask for mercy?”
The manager trembled, unable to speak.
At this moment, taking advantage of Fang Yu’s conversation with the manager, Honda Yuji used all his strength to suddenly spring up and lunge toward Ye Shengxue, who was standing a few meters away!
The desire to survive made Honda Yuji forget the excruciating pain in his knee, rushing to Ye Shengxue at extreme speed, his left arm restraining her hands, his right hand gripping the Yuan Dao Sword with its blade against her neck.
Unable to defeat Fang Yu, he would target the woman by his side!
He must survive!
“Let me leave this place, or I’ll kill her…” Honda Yuji’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared.
